Evap emmission check engine

Hey so my check engine light came on the other day, checked it with my computer, and it is saying the evap emissions system is having issues, is this a common issue on 2010 MCS'?

May sound like a pretty stupid question, but did you tighten the gas cap (screw it on) all the way? The Evap (fuel) Emissions system is a closed/sealed one, so a leak will sometimes throw a code. Start there and see what happens.

I am also having a similar issue :(

"DMTL Leak detected"

I have to see if my mechanic can smoke test the system and confirm whether or not there is an actual leak or if the pump needs to be replaced. Two months into ownership, not very happy.

DMTL Leak detected
Diagnostic Module Tank Leakage also referred to as the Leak Diagnosis Pump.

This unit is a little pump/sensor that measures fuel vapor emissions from fuel system. If your gas cap seal is faulty or you have any fuel system pressure leak, this pump runs to maintain pressure in the system. Normally it is not supposed to run. When it runs it sets of the Check Engine light. (One of the potential failures for error code P0456.) I would make sure to check the gas cap 1st.

This is what the picture of the part that is most likely causing your problems.
